Hotels in Marsa Alam, Egypt

Marsa Alam lies on Egypt's Red Sea coast, with a year-round dry climate that brings scorching summers over 100°F (38°C) and mild winters around 70°F (21°C). It's famous for its pristine coral reefs where you can swim with dugongs and sea turtles, and the nearby Wadi El Gemal National Park offers desert safaris and ruins of ancient emerald mines.
